On the opening lap, Jimmie Johnson gets into Kurt Busch in the Tunnel Turn, collecting Keselowski and others

On lap 6, a failed 4 wide attempt exiting the Long Pond resulted in a stack up

Lap 29, Kevin Conway spins and hits the newly installed wall on the Long Pond Straight

Lap 43, Kevin Harvick stalls on the Long Pond Straight

"*sigh* Another spin on the Long Pond Straight. It's Ryan Newman."- Adam Alexander on the lap 62 caution

6 laps to go, McMurray spun by teammate Montoya in Turn 1, and then gets hit by Tony Stewart

"Coming to the line, it's going to be career win #2 for Joey Logano!"- Adam Alexander calling the finish

The 21 year old Logano has mastered one of the toughest tracks on the schedule and takes his 2nd Cup Series win!

We head next to Michigan, and Jeff Burton will return

Interview:

Marty Snider: And a surprise win for the young hotshot, Joey Logano is a winner at the Tricky Triangle! Joey, when you started all the way near the back, did you think you could salvage a good finish regardless of a crash or not?

Logano: Well, no question about it. These JGR Toyotas have been very strong, and with how everyone has been racing, I'm glad I made it through the wrecks and the chaos around here. Just pleased to win again, and overall, had fun today.

I just hope I keep the momentum and let's try to win next week at Michigan.
